Addie got to walk through a straw maze, 2 corn mazes, go down a very slippery, fast, and dangerous slide that Mommy and Daddy did not like, and go on a hayride out to the pumpkin patch. She was pretty cute walking through the corn maze, humming a little tune to herself and picking up every corn cob and kernel she spotted. Needless to say, it took us a while to get through it!
After we picked 2 pumpkins from the patch, we went inside the building and let Addie pick a few "baby" pumpkins (as she calls them) to be her very own. She was very interested in looking around at all the different sizes, colors, and textures of pumpkins, but got a little antsy to go home by the time we were checking out (I think Chris and I were feeling the same way by this point). ......and NO, the hayride didn't cause me to go into labor, unfortunately, but I was VERY swollen, HOT and even more uncomfortable after this experience ;)
After all the excitement of the pumpkin patch, we all ate some lunch and rested for a bit. Then after naps, we took our biggest pumpkin outside to carve a face in him. My dear husband has been wanting to carve a pumpkin every year since we've been married, but we have never done it before this year (kiddos are the best excuse to have fun and get messy, aren't they?). Addie got to help draw the design of the face on the pumpkin with a *permanent marker* (scary!), and she did a good job of only writing on the pumpkin and the newspaper. "Yucky," and "Thank you, Daddy" were the most said expressions. I think she had a lot of fun!

WHAT FUN!! I loved all of the pictures. Miss Addie is so beautiful. I'm sorry that the hayride didn't throw you into labor. That's a bummer. We're looking forward to carving a pumpkin with the girls this year, too. Glad you had a wonderful day with your family!
